weekend

i dont' have a single photo. how sad. but i know some others took a few so i'll try and steal them later.
such a good weekend.
we left lyn at my mom's friday afternoon and took off to Idaho Falls. A good friend of the Casper family passed away, so we were going to attend the funeral. Friday night we all went to the viewing. After, i wanted to really live it up, without the babe, so we decided we were going to go to a movie..but that turned into rock n' roll disco night at the local bowling alley. it was late, and we were one of the few groups left. we bowled for an hour or so, and then headed back to brits. it was really fun. i love bowling, and we havent been in so so long. tyler did manage to beat me every game (ha) but really, he's not that good.
and then saturday morning we got up (not til 10) and went to the funeral. it was a wonderful meeting, with lots of funny stories about Blair and his family. after that, eveyone went to the graveside service. This was my second funeral ever. i am not seasoned in these things. but, they have a family tradition, where the night before all the brothers and sons dig the grave, by hand. and then after the service, they all bury the casket, right then. tyler loved it, he said that it gave so much closure to walk away and know exactly where he was and how he got there, that his body truley was laid to rest by his loved ones. i though it was cool, and not morbid at all.
anyways, after that we hung out with the family for awhile, everyone was so tired. and then we headed back to utah. not without stopping at our favorite place ever. LAVA HOT SPRINGS. we have been there so many times, and i cannot drive from idaho to utah without stopping. it's like.."our place". very fun. the only problem is trying to stay awake to get home! we finally pulled in the driveway around 2am.
then after another late morning, we headed to church where our ward was split. we had the largest primary in the entire church! over 800 ppl in our ward, it was time for a split. although it's kinda sad, becasue literally half of our ward is now their own ward, it was needed, and i think we'll get to know tons of new people! i have a feeling that new callings will come our way, which is sad, because we both really liked our callings, (i'm still holding out!!) it's funny, because on our way home, i was just thinking how maybe we need to sell our house and farm. i was questioning if we're really where we're supposed to be. and then sunday, it's like the Lord slapped me in the face and said, stop it court, this is where you're supposed to be. quit questioning it, and hold on to the answers you've been given. silly me.
we picked lynley up after the meeting and i was so excited to squeeze her. how am i gonna do 2 weeks next month? i'm starting to have some serious anxiety about this.
our house is a tornado zone. everything is everywhere. and nothing is in it's place. i usually keep a pretty good handle on the house..but now it's like past the point of no return. ya know?
wow. this has been quite the novel, with no photos, which makes reading the novel so not worth it.
but hey, it's our blog so i guess that's all that matters. :)
